This is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fode lecture. It was created by family members in loving memory of Oscar and Amelia Fode because of their lifelong interest in education and in the young people of North Dakota. The Fodes were prominent in business in Jamestown, ND. They began an automobile business known as Midwest Motors in Jamestown in 1929, subsequently establishing Midwest Credit Co., Midwest Machine Co., Midwest Insurance Co., and Dakota Sales and Service which Oscar continued to operate until his death in 1971. Amelia passed away in 1961.

A reception will follow the keynote address.
